Chapter 19: Rogette's Story
Wayne got up and walked to the window and looked out, looking for something beautiful to divert his attention, he was afraid that he would be immersed in those misfortunes.
"It's so close......
The Dumitru neighborhood is not far from the center of the city-state, and from his office, he has a clear view of the Krims Cathedral not far away.
It can be seen that many people dressed in the costumes of the Dawn Church are walking towards the church. Everyone had a smile on their face, bright and beautiful.
And in the corner of the neighborhood not far away, more people gathered in twos and threes.
Gentlemen in formal attire, walking side by side with ladies in gorgeous long dresses, talking and laughing into various stores.
Wayne's five senses were elevated, and he could faintly hear what they were discussing, including clothing, food, and the decrees of the city-state......
It's more about the Holy Sacrifice that came down from the Church of the Dawn yesterday, and the lucky Holy One.
"I finally understand why so many people have become believers in the Dawn Church."
In such a dangerous world, transcendents have a certain ability to protect themselves and have the ability to make choices.
But these ordinary people, especially those who are poor, if they have no spiritual sustenance, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to persevere.
In a way, whether it's the Church of Dawn, the Church of Storm, or any other church, it's the hope of these people to survive.
Even if these churches don't necessarily bring them good luck......
Click.
"Hey, Wayne, you're already there."
Hearing the voice, Wayne turned around and glanced at the clockβeleven o'clock!
"Sister Lacey, I just arrived not long ago."
"I should have told you that the secretarial division works at eleven o'clock, right?"
Wayne nodded calmly, "Hmm." β
He had just experienced a bleak baptism, and he really didn't want to waste his time arguing about whether he had talked about work hours.
"That's good."
Lacey put down the suitcase in her hand, looked at him and smiled, "Wayne, I have to say that this dress suits you very well." β
"Thank you."
"How? Have you seen those files for you? β
Wayne saw her look at the file on the table, and smiled: "I've seen it, Sister Lacey has performed very well in these cases, very admirable." β
"Yes, yes? How can I be as good as you say, hahaha......"
Well?
Did I say the word "excellent"?
And even if you hear compliments, you don't have to laugh so exaggerated...... Looks like he should have to get used to it.
In fact, there is a colleague with a straightforward and unpretentious personality, and he is considered very lucky.
Wayne sighed at Sister Lacey's ease of getting along as he packed up the file and put it on her desk.
"I saw the pictures in the cabinet over there, are they all my colleagues?"
"Well, yes."
Lacey put the file away, didn't look back, and replied casually: "Except for an old guy who has retired, everyone is here." β
"That's right."
"Do you think they all seem reliable?"
"No,"
As she spoke, she felt inappropriate, and continued, "No, I mean it's all reliable. I was just surprised that Rogette was so handsome when he laughed, but yesterday he was so ......."
"Cold?" Lacey added.
"Pretty much ......"
Lacey looked up at him and said seriously, "You don't have to be embarrassed to be so blunt. The reason why Rogette became what he is now is also his own fault. β
Is there a change in between?
Wayne didn't speak, but waited for her next.
"In fact, he's leaving today."
"Huh?"
"He's mentally tainted, here," Lacey pointed to his head, "the brain is broken!" β
Wayne looked at her in amazement, she actually knew?!
Last night he was still struggling with whether to tell this information, but he didn't expect it to be an open secret.
"He, how did Rogette get mentally polluted?"
"That's where he doesn't deserve sympathy," Lacey's expression was mixed, with both helplessness and annoyance, "and he's in love with a 'degenerate.'" β
Wayne's mouth opened wide, "Fallen? Fall in love? β
He thought he would hear an inspirational story about selling his soul in pursuit of power, but he didn't expect it to be a love tragedy?
"I can tell you this, but you have to promise, no, you have to swear not to tell anyone outside of the Investigation Department."
Wayne nodded hurriedly, "Uh-huh, I swear!" β
Eating melons or something, no matter what world you are in, you can't resist it.
"Well," Lacey sighed, "and I hope you don't become like him." Honestly, it's a tragedy......"
"Rogette is only 23 years old this year, and he has only been in the investigation department for three years. I still remember how he looked when he first arrived, sunny and handsome, and he had good marksmanship......"
As she spoke, Wayne realized why Rogett had become like this.
It turned out that in the first two years, Rogette was still Sister Lacey's teammate, and the two worked together with the retired old Jack.
But in the third year, last year, Rogette began to investigate the case on his own because he wanted to surpass Lacey in his grades.
In one case, he met a young girl.
According to Lacey, the girl was so average that she even compared herself to herself.
said that the girl was of average stature, with a round face with a little freckles, and was two years older than Rogette......
Wayne looked at the two hanging bells in front of her and agreed, it is indeed difficult for a woman to compare with Lacey's figure.
But it was such a very ordinary girl who attracted Rogette's attention, or admiration to be exact.
Every day after work, he would take a long detour to create a chance encounter with that girl. I also bring some gadgets with me as gifts, and sometimes some food.
It didn't take long for the two to fall in love and start a formal relationship.
Of course, Lacey's exact words were: "These are all deceptions of the degenerate who deceived an upright and brave inquisitor with great promise!" β
Although she spoke in a resentful tone, Wayne could hear her grief at Rogette's mental contamination.
At the beginning, the two got along with each other full of happiness.
The only fly in the ointment is that the girl's family does not approve of the relationship between the two, and even obstructs it in every way.
When Wayne expressed his incomprehension, Lacey replied lightly: "Usually ordinary people have the impression of an inquisitor like this, and in the face of misfortune, it brings foreboding. β
I don't know what kind of mood she felt when she said this, but Wayne was shocked anyway.
It turns out that from the perspective of ordinary people, the inquisitor is such an image!
Back to Rogette...... After that, neither of them gave up.
Especially Rogert, who fell in love, desperately completed the task of the secret department, hoping to impress the girl's family with a promotion.
But......
One evening, Rogette was so anxious that he ventured to visit the girl's quarters.
He walked in a hurry, carrying only the ordinary lanterns sold by the Church of the Dawn.
It was on that day that Rogette saw a terrible scene.
The girl with an ordinary appearance and a gentle personality turned into a devil in the night when he spied on her.
Murdered everyone in the family, including their parents, and their sister, who was less than two years old.
"Rogette, look...... No one will stop us anymore. β
